reading is fun


Every other Tuesday, our little town library has an after-school program for kiddos up to grade 5. The girls have both loved going, even though Isabella is too old now, for the stories, the crafts and fun with their friends. Plus, we think reading is fun and we all get to check out some new books!

I scored these three books for $5.00 at the mini book sale they were having. They're all new authors to me, but Zach has been reading Lee Child for as long as I can remember. We just saw the Jack Reacher movie, the one with Chris Pine, which made me want to begin reading the Jack Reacher series as I did quite enjoy it. I always thought that it was very heavy on the military aspect so I never even gave the Lee Child novels a try.

I generally read mystery and light hearted chick lit, with some Southern literature and a few classics thrown in as well. Sadly, I rarely read non-fiction or for learning, per say, focusing more on escape. Not that I couldn't use a little self-improvement, though.

I'd love to hear your book recommendations.

And have you seen these library cards in the I Love It All shop? What a fun way to keep track of who you've loaned books to, or what you've read this year, or what's on your reading list or even add to your Project Life album. I have them in my Filofax to jot down titles and authors so that when we're at the library, I don't have to recall from {my poor} memory what it was I wanted to hunt down.

  3. Have you tried listening to non fiction on audiobook? That's what I do, I listen when I walk the dog and clean the house. I use Overdrive from my library.

    1. I really should do that, Lea that's a wonderful suggestion. Maybe I could get some learning and self-improvement in my day to make me feel better about just reading for pleasure!
